Rich, creamy, yeasty nose, with a full, ripe toasty flavour on the middle palate developing finesse and complexity on the aftertaste.

The new contemporary packaging has been well received. The individual bottles are contained in single bottle boxes that double up as gift boxes. However if the gift option is of no use to you the Monro Brut is also available in beautifully designed 6 packs.

In The Vineyard

We are a pioneering quality wine company committed to preserving the environment and we have been rewarded with membership to the Biodiversity of Wine Initiative.

In The Cellar

Whenever conditions favour the production of fine sparkling wine we create Monro Brut our Prestige Cuvee. The 2007 vintage was suited to quality sparkling wine production. For our 2007 Monro Brut, healthy whole grapes were pressed very gently using a Champagne pressing programme. Only the Cuvee (best quality juice) was used in the blend. Part of the Chardonnay component was fermented in used barrels for extra complexity. After blending with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, yeast and sugar were added for a secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended lees contact for 4 years. Monro Brut can age for at least 3 years from date of purchase. With age the wine softens in flavour, maintaining its sparkle, giving a fulfilling balance of age and fruit.
